I spent the last four months playing in a rock & roll band.

I know what you’re thinking. “Gosh, Anne! You’re 71. What were you thinking?”

Let me explain. I didn’t know prior to taking voice lessons at the School of Rock that students are required to join a group and perform publicly. Because I had a history of dabbling with acoustic guitars— singing around the campfire stuff—I also started playing an electric guitar so I could pull my weight with the group.

We just performed our season-ending show, which included 12 songs from groups in the Rock & Roll Hall of fame. It was fun, and exhausting, and exhilarating.

Now, I need a nap.

Still, I do believe I’ll be doing it again.

A big thank you to all my lovely friends who came out to cheer us on.
